    Anyone ever heard of this happening?

    When I upload a file with a ".php" extension or with no extension, a line of text including the file name and a bunch of random characters is added to the top of the file. This prints to the screen when you view the file in a browser and prevents some php functions from working.

    When I use ftp this does not happen.

    When I upload an ".html" file this does not happen. In fact, ".html" files are recognized as ASCII while the ".php" files are being identified as some type of Macintosh binary file.

    I have not found any reference to this on the web and the support guy for my host server doesn't understand or believe that this is happening.

    Am I the only one?

    That sounds like an ftp client problem not a cpanel issue.

    Try turing off auto format detection and force ascii uploads from your client.

    Is this something I can do from cPanel? I've searched around and can't find anything about auto detection or forcing ASCII uploads.

    If I understand correctly, railx is uploading in cpanel, not with an ftp program. Cpanel doesn't have the option of choosing file type. I'll test mine and see what happens.

    Cpanel file manager uploaded php just fine. Your provider is probably behind on cpanel updates.

    Anyway, cpanel works fine so your provider will have to find the problem.
